Do not be frightened by all that they ask. I live in Michigan, each state law varies, but the record is 100 years old should not be a problem. This site has all the info and you can email them for questions.

How do I get one? Yes, Bridget did die in childbirth, the baby died also. I know this from my father, his mother and the cemetery record. She sailed on her own, according to my aunt. I'm told that Bridget was to come to Pennsylvania to be with an aunt & uncle.
